east. 1t will be not less than fifteen feet
square, with windows on two sides for
light and ventilation. For farther ventila-
ton it will have an open fireplace. The
walls will be hard finished and tinted a
color that will be restful to the eyes. The
woodwork will be finished in its natural
color. paint not being admitted. The floor
will be of hard, polished wood, with small
rugs for comfort, that are shakable
weekly. Everything that would invite
dust will be strictly excluded, therefore the
furniture will have no extra carvings. The
one hair mattress will be of the best quail
ity, made in two parts for convenience in
turning and airing, with woven wire
spring beneath The bed-clothing will be
the lightest, at the same time warmest,
consisting of blankets and white spread.
All extra adornments of lambrequins and
fancy things of no use will not find a place
here. The curtains will be of thin, washa-
bic material.

her bed set away from the wall for healths
sake as well as convenience. Modern ICON

those in the children's closet at suitable
hight for them. The children will be re-

room with hardwood floor, where all

can play to their hearts content without
being told not to do this or that

where everything shall be disable and bang
able, plenty of old chairs and boxes for
steam cars or circuses where they can
decorate the walls with pictures, and have
good time generally-Good Housekeeping.

THE action of the Garments Association
in San Francisco in fastening to pronounce
Sites and Dean innocent, was one Of the
most foolish moves body of strikers ever
made. 1t gives body and strength to the
charge made by some, that the carmen are
the dynamiters and that their haste to de-
fend the prisoners is born of fear of pos
sible revelations involving the leaders in
the strike The carmen have all along
protested to be anxious to have the police
search out and arrest the dynamiters. Now
that they act, these same carmen are the
first to denounce them.

and attempted outrages upon the methods

of attempts to fraudulently advance bills

ADVANCING TO GENERALIZATION

An article in this number from the
Raii,ray and Corporation Law Journal upon
the effect of the passage of the interstate
commerce bill will be found worthy of
careful study. 1t treats of phase of the
question upon which comparatively little
has been said, the effect of the new law
upon the political future of the country.
The central thought of the article, which
is clear and forcible, is that dangerous
advance is made by the bill by the Ma
tional Government in encroaching upon
the powers and prerogatives of the States
and consequent disturbance of the checks
and balances SO carefully and wisely de-
vised by the fathers. 1t makes clear also
that the Democratic party has departed
from its traditions and its claim of adj
hesion to principles, abandoning the Demo-
cratic doctrine that the least governed are
the best governed people, and that rapid
~ centralizing government is menacing to
republican institutions.

WE now have it upon unquestioned au-
thority that with the opening of spring We
will be more seriously exposed than at any
time in the past to the incursion of chol-
era, smallpox and, possibly, yellow fever
The necessity, therefore, for Governors
contingent fund being set aside, as asked
by the State Board of Health, is very
great. The news this morning is that
smallpox is already epidemic at Los An
geles. What ever condition the bill may
now be in, it should be speedily made law.
1t is not call for direct expenditure, but
is simply wise precaution to be taken,
that in case either of the pests threaten
us, the Governor may be provided with
means TO establish border quarantine sta
tons, and to stop the importation of the
seeds of the diseases.

PHYSIQUE OF AMERICAN WoMEN.-Amer-
leans used to be thin and scrawny, and
were well laughed at by less nervous ma
tionalities because they were so; now all
this is changed and the typical American
is actually corpulent. What does it mean
that our women should suddenly take on
fat to this degree? Where are the delicate,
fragile types that looked as though the
wind would blow them away? If you will
observe the average woman, whether in
the street or some place of amusement, the
increase of her eight, the size of her gen.
orally will be surprise if you haven't
given the subject previously any thought.
Once on time it was believed that the eli
mate acted as kind of Bant to the system,
but either this climate is losing its asperity
or the art of living has become less wearing,
for fat women abound, and what is more
the flesh looks as though il had come to
stay. The question also arises, does this
increase denote less mental fret and worry?
Are people happier for being stout? 1t

cause and which is effect Boston Herald.

A VERY MEAN MAN.-It is mean man
that will steal b rse-blanket, but the
meanest man in America is one who will
steal a blanket from his own horse in cold
weather. A resident of Walker county
came into the city yesterday with fine
horse blanket under the saddle. He went
into Whiteside street saloon and took a
drink of whisky. After coming out he was
observed to peer cautiously up and down
the street, and, after satisfying himself that
no one was in sight he stole the blanket
from under the saddle and put it under his
arm. He then started on the run through
the alley in order to get away. Upon his
arrival home he found that he had stolen
his own blanket and left his horse. He
walked five miles back to get his horse,
and the next time he steals blanket he
will be careful to inquire as to its owner.

BIackherry Culture.

An Ohio correspondent asks for instruc-
ton upon the cultivation of the blackberry
in the field. In reply we would say that
in field cultivation the blackberry is set in
rows about eight feet apart, and three to
four feet apart in the rows. If they are
properly planted the new shoots from the
roots will begin to show themselves in a
very few weeks. Two or three of these only
are allowed to grow the first year, and the
ground ought to be kept free from weeds
and frequently stirred. 1t is recommended
to pinch off the terminal shoots of each
plant when it has grown to height of
about three feet. That causes the plant to
throw out side shoots and form a bushy
top. There will be no fruit the first year,
but the second year the previous years
growth of wood will bear fruit and then
die. Therefore, as soon as the fruit is
gathered, the wood which bore it should
be cut away, that the new growth of wood
may have plenty of room. If the system
of pinching off the terminal shoot of the
plant, as above recommended, is not fol-
lowed, the stalk will grow tall and slim.
Some permit this. But if it is permitted
the stalk should have some support or it
may be blown over. The system recon-
mended however, is the one by which the
most fruit can be obtained. In the cultiva-
ton of the blackberry, we must always re-
member that it is rank feeder. The
ground must therefore be very rich, and no
crop will give better return for the appli-
cation of good manure Western Raral.
